Communication paths between computers on a network in multi-tier software systems are difficult to understand.  However, understanding network communication between computers is essential for many migration and consolidation projects. Not understanding the dependencies might lead to unexpected interruptions to users and downtime. JDisc’s Dependency Mapping Add-On finds TCP connections between computers on your network and displays them graphically as dependency maps or using table-based reports.

In addition to finding TCP connections between devices, JDisc Dependency Mapping detects open TCP and UDP ports for many devices connected to the network, thereby enabling simple security audits. For example, devices running a telnet daemon can be identified easily and security leaks can be closed quickly.
